Editorial

T. Johnson (GB)

ofepiInformation will have an editorial presented by a member of the Editorial Committee to be appointed by the newly - elected Council in this an election year. "On with the Motley" might be an appropriate call in the circumstances, the "Motley" readers will recall being a multi-colouredcostume worn by a clown or Court jester. This is not to suggest, we hasten to add, that the new Council (or this Committee!) will in any way be clowns. Far from it. Indeed we are sure that the new Council will be just as serious,diligent and hard-working as the out- going one was. It is, however, also worth the new President and the new Board remembering that in medi- eval times the jester was an important person who could

tell the truth at Court (aka Council) without fear ofpunishment, even if that truth was contrary to the king's

or senior persons' opinion. So the jester, and our Council by extension, acts as an antidote to hubrisin highplaces. I cannot let this 'motley' theme pass without being reminded that the expression "Motley Crew" is an expression in English used to mean a roughly organised assembly of characters, usually of ill-repute, such as pirates. Our elections are smoothly and properly con- ducted and Council is a well-organised group of persons of the utmost integrity having the common aim of furthering the aims and objectives of our Institute and its membership. We are therefore confident that here will be no Motley Crew in evidence over the next three years. Or so we hope ...
